19.4.1 Restoring a Saved Game.
Note: Restoring and loading a game is the same procedure.
In order to restore a game, follow the two step process described below. First you need to start the
game and once it is running, restore the saved game. For example, save a "A Bears Night Out"
game as "Bear Lounge1". To run "A Bears Night Out", select "Games" and choose this game from
the list, before loading "Bear Lounge1".
To load a saved game press CONTROL with O, or type the word "restore" and press ENTER. You
will then be presented with a standard KeySoft prompt and by repeatedly pressing SPACE, cycle
through to the game you wish to restore. Use BACKSPACE to move to a different folder or drive,
as you do elsewhere in KeySoft.
Once the appropriate game is found, press ENTER to restore the saved game. The previous moves
will not be available as these are not kept. However, you will be able to review the game details,
where you are, your score, how many moves you have made, what you are carrying and so on. At
this stage, it is advised to check the status line by pressing READ with S - see 19.6 Status Line) and
to look around by typing "look" and then press ENTER.
19.5 Reading Previous Moves.
During the time you play a game, you will type in many moves and the computer will remember
these responses. It can sometimes be quite useful to review previous moves, for example, to check
the spelling of a word.
KeySoft stores the last 20 moves you performed through typed commands, and the response from
the game itself. Each one of these historical moves can be read in the same manner as the current
move, by using the reading keys below:
To read from the start of the previous sentence, press READ with U
To read from the start of the current sentence, press READ with I
To read from the start of the next sentence, press READ with O
To move back a word, press READ with J
To read the current word and read it, press READ with K
To move forward a word and read it, press READ with L
To read continuously, press READ with G
